OnPrem Workers — Self-hosted edge runtime
Bring Cloudflare Workers DX to enterprise intranets
- Problem
- For B2B delivery, clients like Cloudflare Workers' low cost, performance, and ecosystem, but data must stay on-prem or corporate networks block external services. Finance, government, and healthcare often require private deployment, forcing teams to assemble K8s, MinIO, Redis, and more. A developer built an open-source project for this, proving it's a common delivery blocker.
- Solution
- An edge runtime deployable as a single binary or Docker Compose, compatible with the Workers script model and bundled with KV storage, queues, cron jobs, and a basic gateway. Developers keep a familiar API while data stays entirely on the client's intranet.
- Users
- ToB developers and FDE teams delivering private deployments to finance, government, and healthcare clients
- MVP
- Workers-compatible execution runtime; built-in KV storage and simple queues; one-command Docker Compose setup; basic admin UI (deploy, logs, env vars); environment variable and secret management
- Revenue
- Open-source core plus enterprise license (annual subscription with support); optional one-time buyout for private deployment
- Why now
- Private deployment demand keeps growing in regulated industries, yet Cloudflare alternatives are scarce; indie devs can focus on delivery scenarios instead of building a general cloud
